clown shoes
Comically huge shoes
Clown shoes are the oversized, brightly colored footwear worn by circus clowns, comically exaggerated in length and width.
The image extends to anything absurdly incompetent or unprofessional: That presentation was absolute clown shoes.
The phrase suggests buffoonery—something so badly done it belongs in a circus act.
